Conventionally a triangle's height is given as the perpendicular distance to the apex above an arbitarily defined base. Without such a definition, the formula for the area of a triangle, 0.5 x base x perpendicular HEIGHT, would have no meaning. However, a single height measurement given in isolation does not define any particular triangle as that alone can be found in an infinate number of triangles.
